Arsenal have decided against sanctioning the sale of defender Jakub Kiwior when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
The Poland international was linked with several Italian clubs over the summer, but the north London giants had no plans of offloading him.
Juventus have identified him as a top target for January, but it appears the Gunners won't entertain any offers for the versatile defender.
The Bianconeri are without centre-back Gleison Bremer and left-back Juan Cabal with serious injuries and Kiwior would be a good fit.
The former Spezia man could be tempted by a reunion with his ex-manager Thiago Motta, but he may have to wait until the season ends.
Kiwior has largely featured off the bench for the Gunners this term, but he could make the starting XI against West Ham United on Saturday.
Gabriel Magalhaes picked up an injury against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday night and he is reportedly doubtful to face the Hammers on the road.
